Discover Acadia National Park
Distinguished as the nation’s second most visited federal park, Acadia National Park had its genesis in 1919. This vast expanse that covers 35,000 acres is actually a part of Mt. Desert Island. Established in 1919, the park continued to grow through the generous donations of individuals who purchased large parcels of land and added them to the holdings. Drawing throngs of visitors from across the nation and throughout the world each year, the park is particularly accessible to Maine residents, who enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities against a backdrop of exceptional natural beauty. A pristine example of the picturesque terrain for which Maine is so famous, Acadia encompasses breathtaking islands, forests, lakes, mountains, rock formations, and miles of pristine seacoast.
